My eyesight has been poor since the age of ten, and I have always needed strong varifocal contact lenses or glasses. Now, in my sixties, after David Gartry’s surgery, I have 20:20 vision. My eyesight has never been better. I have no need of glasses. My husband jokes that I have bionic eyes now. The world has come alive in sharp colours.
What took me to Wimpole eye clinic was an aggressive cataract in both eyes which led to a rapid loss of vision. I was seen really quickly, and the operation (each eye was a week apart) arranged swiftly. The whole team was brilliant. The preparation and follow-up were fantastic. I wanted for nothing. I was an anxious patient but Professor Gartry and the nurses were really understanding and put me at ease. This is a world-class clinic offering the latest cutting edge treatment but care for the patient is at the heart of what they do, and I feel enormously privileged and grateful to have been treated by them. Life really does look different now.
